Does this calculator power off? How? (I see where it has a continuous blinking cursor once the batteries are inserted, but pushing the off button does not make the cursor disappear.) Does it continuously run down the batteries?

Press 2nd and on to turn off ( top left button that says second for second function then press on button in order to toggle off function)

I checked with the area that uses them. The answer to both of the questions is yes. The calculator auto shuts off. You can turn it back on by hitting the "C" button.

The display will always remain on as long as there is a power source connected to the power and ground wires. If the voltage you are measuring is zero, the display will read " 0.0" and there is no auto-powerdown or sleep mode. It will only turn off when the power is removed.

I don't think it turns off. It should not take too much battery life up.I returned m,ine, not because of that but because it was not what I expected. If you keep it, don't worry about the battery life. That is the lease of your problems.

It's a solar calculator and there is no Off button. The calculator goes off by itself. This calculator lasts a very long time. I have another one that is very similar and I have had it for over 6 years. The only reason I purchased this one was because I got tired of my son always taking it.

I generally do not turn the mouse off when it is not in use, so that wastes battery a little, but I'v had it for eight months and I have only replaced the batteries once. I use it maybe 15 hours a week for gaming and I also use it instead of my laptop's trackpad for daily use.

To be honest, I'm not positive whether it does or not. I do not use one, however, there is a picture of a battery in the right hand corner and it has a button that goes up and down next to it but I honestly do not know if it turns the battery off and on. There are no words but just a white line at the bottom and a blue line at the top. I know I read about it when I got it but I'm not sure where the papers are now either. I have had mine for quite some time and have only changed the batteries once, if at all. Sorry I couldn't be of more help! :o(

You can turn it off for optimum battery life. I never turn it off but I've only had it about a month now and haven't needed to replace the battery. There is an on/off switch on the bottom of the mouse.

I haven't tried removing the batteries, because putting in and out six batteries seems like a giant pain, but yes, with the power button off, it drains batteries. I just ordered the a/c adaptor (14.29) and that should solve my problem, because it IS a nice little labeler, despite the battery drain. Hope this helps! -K.

Robert, I LOVE this machine! You can turn it on with the switch at the top of the calculator, far left of the Heavy Duty logo, and switch to off/on/print. The choice is yours!

When you're using AA batteries, and they run out...does it alert you with a message or icon?It must...but no one has mentioned in the reviews. Does it tell you LOW BATT at any point? Just don't want to be in middle of continuous shot and have the thing quit on me.Thanks,dix4@me.com

My keyboard only requires a battery change about once a year, I believe the keyboard powers down when you turn your computer off, but I'm not 100% sure.

This scale shuts down about 2 mins after no input to change the display. I do not know how you use your scale but if you are weighing several items or hundreds of items on this scale it will not auto-shut off in the middle of your operation unless the battery is depleated. This scale has a low battery warning.

For me batteries last about 2 weeks (sucks them dry very quickly). This is the type of mouse you really need to turn off after using it, something I always forget to do. I don't think it has a sleep mode, the bluetrack light is always on, even after hours of being idle, this probably contributes to the short battery life. If it wasn't for the battery life, this mouse would be very good. For now, i'm stuck changing the batteries out constantly, give the logitech touch mouse a look!

I have mine for about 8 months and I never turn it off unless it goes a little querky and doesn't work right. The battery is still working fine. It goes to "sleep" when not in use so that saves the battery. But it use 2 aa batteries so they don't cost much. It is a great little mouse. I use it on my nook tablet.

You just let it sit for awhile and just goes off. How it does it I do not know. As for the batteries - I had another one of these for at least 8 years and I never had to worry about the batteries. In fact, I do not know where the batteries are, or how to change them.

It takes button batteries only for the beeping sound that it makes when you press a calculator button or swipe the credit card. The calculator is solar-powered and will continue to work without batteries.
